How to write xPath

There are Two Types of Xpath

1)Absolute Xpath

2)Relative Xpath

1)Absolute Xpath:

a) It is a direct way to locate the Element.

b) It start with Single Element(/)which means it try to search the Element from the Root.

Example:

/html/body/equote-root/equote-risk/div/div/div[1]/equote-area-sorter/div/equote-panel/div/div[2]/div/div[2]/button

2)Relative Xpath:

a) It starts from the Middle of the HTML.

b) Starts with double slash (//)which means it try to search the Element anywhere in the DOM.

c)It is flexible compare to Absolute Xpath.

Example:

//span[contains(text(),'Submit Button')]

 How to Write a Smart XPaths for Complex and Dynamic Elements

1)Use Contains:

When a Element is Dynamic it is easy to find the Elements.

Example:

//*[contains(@name,'userName')]

//*[contains(@href,'mercurywelcome.php?osCsid=eb1d150686047b0beb894f5ec0313408')]

//*[contains(@text,'here')]

2)Use OR & AND

Using OR when both the condition is true it find the Element, when there is one condition is true another one is false in that time also it find the Element.

Example:

//*[@name='pass' or @name='login']

Using AND when both the condition is true it find the element otherwise it fails to find the element.

//*[@name='password' or @name='login']

3)Starts-with

Match with starting text of the attribute is used to find the element whose changes dynamically.

Example:

//input[starts-with(@name,'principal')]

4)Text

Find the element with the exact text match.

Example:

//a[text()='REGISTER']

Xpath Axes Method:

a) Following

b) Ancestor

C) Child

d) Preceding

e) Following-sibling

f) Parent

g) Self

h) Descendant

a) Following:

To select all the elements from the node.

Example:

//*[@type='text']//following::input

With the input[1] it find the particular element.

//*[@type='text']//following::input[1]

b) Ancestor

First It finds the text which is ‘Enterprise Testing’

Then start to find the elements in node.

Example:

//*[text()='Enterprise Testing']//ancestor::div

c) Child

It select all the children elements from the node.

Example:

//*[@name='country']/child::option

//*[@name='country']/child::option[150]

d)Preceding

It selects all the node come before the current node.

Example:

//*[@type='image']//preceding::input

//*[@type='image']//preceding::input[10]

e) Sibling:

It selects the following sibling of the context node.

Example:

//*[@type='text']//following-sibling::input

//*[@type='text']//following-sibling::input[1]

f) Parent

It selects the parent of the current node

Example:

//*[@id='rt-feature']//parent::div

//*[@id='rt-feature']//parent::div[1]

g) Self

It select the current node.

Example:

//*[@type='password']//self::input

//*[@type='password']//self::input[1]

h)Descendant

Example:        

//*[@id='test']//descendant::a

Challenges to face run selenium sripts in IE Browser

Challenges to face run selenium sripts in IE Browser

1)Path of the IE Driver

The path to the driver executable must be set by the webdriver.ie.driver system property; for more information, see http://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/InternetExplorerDriver. The latest version can be downloaded from http://selenium-release.storage.googleapis.com/index.html

Class IE

{

Public static void main(String args[])

{

WebDriver t=new InternetExplorerDriver();

t.get(“”);

}

}

This Error happened because of there is no third browser in your system,you have to download the IE third party browser from the site seleniumhq.org

Filename:IEDriverServer.exe 32 bit or 64 bit

public class IE {

public static void main(String[] args) {

// TODO Auto-generated method stub

System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver","D:\\IEDriverServer_x64_3.14.0\\IEDriverServer.exe");

WebDriver t=new InternetExplorerDriver();

t.get("https://www.seleniumhq.org/");

}

}

Output:After set the third party browser in the path

2)Enable the Proteted Mode:

How to set the Protected Mode settings in IE Browser

1) Go to Tools > Internet Options and Under Internet Options click on the Security tab.

2) Click on the Internet zone to Select a zone and to view its Protected Mode property.

3) Now check the Enable Protected Mode check-box. Enable the Protected now.

Note:Does not Enable the Protected mode , when you try to run the program it show the error in your console window

3)Untrusted SSL Certifiate

IE is most secured browser at time using IE browser with selenium it gives SSL certificate popup

To resolve the issue handled in two ways:

Solution1:

public class IE {

public static void main(String[] args) {

// TODO Auto-generated method stub

System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver","D:\\IEDriverServer_x64_3.14.0\\IEDriverServer.exe");

WebDriver t=new InternetExplorerDriver();

t.get("https://www.seleniumhq.org/");

t.navigate().to("javascript:document.getElementById('overridelink').click()");

}

}

Solution 2:

Desiried Capabilities:

public class IE {

public static void main(String[] args) {

// TODO Auto-generated method stub

System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver","D:\\IEDriverServer_x64_3.14.0\\IEDriverServer.exe");

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer();

// Settings to Accept the SSL Certificate in the Capability object

capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.ACCEPT_SSL_CERTS, true);

WebDriver t=new InternetExplorerDriver();

t.get("https://www.seleniumhq.org/");

t.navigate().to("javascript:document.getElementById('overridelink').click()");

}

}
